I am 6'5" and 325lbs.  I've been losing weight, but hate the exercise -
So to motivate myself to keep going after losing 20lbs, I've decided to reward myself with gear.
No more COUCH Commando - Now I'll be an Office-Chair Commando (Moving up in the world, see...)

As you may imagine, it's hard to find gear that fits.
I love Chest Rigs, but they never had enough space.
I love Vests, but they don't make one for a Polar-Bear-Sized-Human.
Then I discovered my Dad's Tactical Tailor Split-MAV.  I said... "OOooooh"
Again, not quite the amount of space, and a little small for my stature.

Queue Tactical Tailor's Custom Shop, and years of MS Paint and Photoshop Hobby...



Sent them this image and a few pointers, and got extremely quick, and helpful responses.  Was told 3weeks, but it took 2.
I don't think I could have had a better experience.

Here's the Two Rigs

I call it the "FAT" (Fully-Adjustable-Tactical) MAV - Totally Custom Cost $160 plus shipping.

Final Product is different, because I sent it back to get modified, my idea wasn't working perfectly, but they fixed it for nothing but the cost of return shipping.


My Dad's Split MAV - Had the Back Panel added. $40 plus shipping.

You've got to check them out guys!
